Cangwu County is the county seat under the jurisdiction of Zhuya County, and it is also the last county.

After passing through the towering Heavenly Dome Mountain, we entered the Qionglong County.

The heavy rain and light rain have been pouring for more than half a month, and today it finally cleared, but there was a heat in the air, which made people feel irritable.

Gongliang came to the outside of Cangwu County with Mi Gu and the round wind and dust, and he didn't even bother to take a look at the towering city wall, so he went straight to the inn in the city. This kind of weather is really uncomfortable, not long after walking, I sweat profusely, my whole body is soaked, and I can't stand it. Therefore, what he wants most now is to find an inn to take a good bath and sleep comfortably, rather than enjoying some ghost scenery.

When he entered the city, he found the largest inn and walked in, and shouted, "Shopkeeper, come to an upper room." ”

When the innkeeper saw him, he hurriedly said respectfully: "Wild man, I'm really sorry, the shop is full, please go to other homes to have a look." ”

Gongliang didn't say a word, turned around and left, and walked to the next one.

"Wild man, you're late, the last room of the shop has just been occupied. ”

"Guest officer, I'm really sorry, the shop is full. ”

"Master, you're late, the rooms in the small shop are already full. ”

After walking a few houses, the inns in the city were actually full, and Gongliang had never encountered this situation along the way, which was really strange. I had no choice but to go to the next one. Cangwu County is not big, there are not many inns, fortunately he was lucky, when he walked from the south gate to the north gate, he found an inn again, and hurriedly walked over.

As soon as he walked to the door of the inn, two people suddenly appeared next to him and stopped him.

One of them shouted, "This store is not open, leave quickly." ”

Gongliang looked forward, the door of the inn was wide open, is this guy blind?

Finally found an inn to settle into, how could he go, he didn't bother to talk nonsense with him, and walked in directly.

"Hey... You're... Hmm..."

When the other man heard him screaming, he hurriedly grabbed him and whispered: "You can't find death, don't you see that he is a desolate man? These reckless savages are all in a bad temper, and if we provoke them, none of us will be able to please them, and maybe we will have to worry about our lives." Anyway, it's just him, and it's not in the way to put it in, and the hall master won't say anything even if he knows. ”

The man thought for a moment, looked at Gongliang's burly and stout body, and finally did not speak.

Here is very close to the great wilderness, there are often desolate people coming and going, some desolate people are not very good-tempered, they don't agree with each other, they fight, and there are not a few who are unlucky and killed, or it is better to provoke less.

Gongliang walked into the store with Miya and Yuanpiao, and found that it was empty, quiet, and there was not even a sound, like a haunted house.

After standing for a moment and seeing that no one came out, Gongliang shouted, "Hey, is anyone inside?"

After a while, a middle-aged man lifted the curtain behind him and walked out. Seeing Gongliang, he was surprised and said: "Hey, why did you come in, isn't it because the guards outside are not there?" ”

"What's going on? Don't you open the door and don't do business?"

Gongliang stared straight at him, he had never seen someone soliciting customers in his store, and he had never seen a fool who pushed customers out.

"Wild man, of course the small shop also wants to do business, but I'm afraid that it will affect you, the small shop is in trouble, I'm really sorry, the wild man, you go to another house to have a look. The shopkeeper said again and again.

"Tell me what the trouble is. ”

Gongliang walked over to a low table, sat down cross-legged, and asked.

I glanced at the table floor, it was spotless, and it seemed that even if there was no business, the store was still cleaning.

Seeing that Gonghao seemed to have a tendency not to leave, the shopkeeper had no choice but to sit aside and say: "Alas, it's all a disaster left by the ancestors. At that time, my ancestor was also a monk, but unfortunately his roots and bones were not good, and he still made no progress in middle age, so he simply left his master and traveled down the mountain. When I arrived here, I saw that the mountains and rivers here were extraordinary, so I simply stayed here, married a wife and had children. Later, because of his livelihood, he opened this store. Although my ancestor has poor roots, he is also extraordinary. After his research, he carefully developed a medicinal diet with the cicada flowers produced in Tianqiong Mountain. This medicinal diet is very extraordinary, not only can heal wounds, remove dark diseases, but also calm the mind.

Therefore, as soon as the medicinal food came out, the diners were like clouds, the inn was full every day, and the business was very prosperous.

It's a pity that as soon as the ancestor left, this medicinal diet seemed to disappear with it, and my descendants couldn't cook it, and the business also followed the river. Now, it can only be an ordinary inn.

Originally, relying on the inn, our family was able to support our family, and even had a small surplus.

But who knew that the people of the Imperial Horse Hall didn't know where to know that my ancestors had sold medicinal food, so they forced me to wait for the medicinal diet formula to be handed over.

It was handed down by the ancestors, how could it be handed over casually, it didn't seem that our descendants were unfilial.

That's when things started to happen at my inn.

The people of the Imperial Horse Hall came in to drive away all the guests in the inn, and they also sent people to guard outside, and no one was allowed to come in and stay in the hotel. And those who did not listen to persuasion were driven away. Those who couldn't get rid of them were thrown out with their hands and feet broken. Therefore, the little one persuaded the wild man to leave quickly, so as not to be affected by the small shop and harm the wild man's life. ”

"Didn't they arrest you and torture you to ask you about the recipe for medicinal diet?"

"No, it's business as usual, except that no one is allowed to come in. Maybe I still have a little bit of my countryman's feelings!"

"Naive, what kind of hometown do they read, they are obviously afraid that you will not be able to get the medicinal diet formula if something happens. ”

Gongliang was speechless, and asked again, "You never thought of leaving this place?"

"How could I not have thought that my wife and I have walked with our children openly and secretly, but every time they have been arrested. We had no choice but to stay in the store. Fortunately, there is still some surplus money at home, and I can barely get by. It's just that this money is getting less and less every day, and it looks like it's going to be unbearable, and the little ones don't know what to do?"

As soon as I thought of my future life, the store was full of sad tears, and I couldn't help crying sadly.

There was also a suppressed whimper from behind, as if it was a woman's voice, and it seemed that it should be the shopkeeper's wife.

Gongliang was uncomfortable when he heard this, so he said, "Don't cry, hurry up and arrange a room for me, and earn some money so that you can last a few more days." ”

"It's... How can this be done, this will affect you. The shopkeeper hurriedly said.

"If those people come in, let them come to me and see how I can clean them up. Besides, the inns outside are full and there is nowhere to go, so where do you let me stay?"

"It's the time to dig cicada flowers, and there are more people. When the cicada flowers are gone, the people will disperse. The Wild Master can go to the temple in the city to live, and those who don't find the inn go to live there. ”

Gongliang didn't know what to say, but he already knew very well that it was none of his business to tell him that those people came in, so why did he persuade him to go out?

couldn't help but glare: "Why are you talking so much nonsense, hurry up and arrange a first-class room for me, and bring out any good wine and food for me." ”

"Wild man..."

"Ahem, cough, cough..."

The shopkeeper had to persuade again, and suddenly there was a cough from behind. The shopkeeper turned his head, and saw a hand stretched out from between the front and back curtains to beckon him, and hurriedly said: "Wild master, you wait a while, the little one will come." ”

The shopkeeper got up and walked back.

As soon as I opened the curtain and went in, I heard my wife whisper: "You stupid dead thing, you don't have any eyes at all." Don't look at who the wild man is. If you look at the spiritual pets he brought, maybe they are from the upper part of the Great Wilderness, how can they be afraid of those people in the Imperial Horse Hall. Besides, even if someone from the Imperial Horse Hall comes, won't he be able to beat him and run away? And you and I are already like this, are you still afraid of being implicated by him?"

"That's right, it's for my husband to be confused, so I'll arrange for the wild master to live. ”

"Go ahead!"

The shopkeeper came out from the back and said to Gongliang: "Wild man, please come with the little one, and the little one will arrange a quiet room for you." ”

"Hmm..."

Gongliang followed the store to an upper room upstairs, which was very clean and exquisitely furnished. Gongliang nodded and said, "Yes, that's it." You go and prepare me a table of your store's best dishes, we have a lot of food, and you can arrange it according to five times that of a normal person. As he spoke, he took out a dozen taels of silver and handed it to the shopkeeper.

"The money is stored in the counter first, and then there is no more to say. ”

The shopkeeper hurriedly said, "Enough is enough, why do you need so much silver to eat something." ”

"Then go ahead and arrange it! I'll take a shower first, lie down for a while, and then call me when you're ready." ”

"Okay, you're going to take a shower down there. ”

"Hmm..."

After eating and sleeping for a night, Gongliang regained his energy and felt refreshed. It's the same with rice valley, and it doesn't look like it's going to doze off anymore. The round, dust-stained hair, had returned to its usual brightness after being washed last night.

"Uhhhhhh

Mi Gu stretched a little lazy, and when he saw Baba wake up, he crawled over and rubbed his face.

She has to do this every morning, she likes to rub poop like this, she likes poop the most.

And the round roll is still sleeping.

Gongliang woke him up, washed up, and left the inn and wandered around the streets of Cangwu County.

When he was eating last night, he heard from the shopkeeper that the special product of Cangwu County, the cicada flower, was the mountain cicada that had been dormant in the ground for 12 years, and was nurtured by the breath of the earth.

This cicada flower is divided into upper, middle, lower, and three grades.

Inferior mortal things, suitable for mortal use, can be purchased with money; medium-grade spiritual objects, can be made into some low-grade pills, pills and the like, each is worth ten spirit stones; the top grade is extraordinary, to 100 spirit stones, very rare, with the high-grade spirit cicada pill made of it, has a calming mind, removing distracting thoughts and other magical effects.

Therefore, every time this season, many people will flock to Cangwu County to dig cicada flowers.

In fact, this cicada flower is not only produced in Cangwu County, as long as it is in the mountains near Tianqiong Mountain, but only the cicada flower in Cangwu County is of the best quality, and other places are slightly worse.

Gongliang didn't expect that this small county town would have this kind of specialty, so he wanted to stay here for a while, dig some and then leave.
